At the beginning of this year, two aNIR drying and thermal process systems for the sheet-based production of batteries (electrodes) with a productivity of up to 500 components per hour were successfully put into operation.
The drying and thermal process requirements with the proprietary aNIR solutions from adphos in Bruckmühl were reduced from several minutes to less than 3 seconds per component, even with layer thicknesses of several hundred micrometers. The subsequent sintering of printed electrocoatings on thermally sensitive plastic films is also realized with aNIR solutions.
adphos is currently involved in projects with major international battery manufacturers (mostly in the automotive sector) and capacitors for printed electronics for systematic evaluation, development and/or introduction in industrial applications, both for upgrades/improvements to existing process lines and for greenfield installations.
